ECG-P2.. think I've killed it..

[Speedie70]

Hi All,


Just dusting off the lights to get set up for this year and went to power up my yet to be used in anger ECG-P2 and stupidly used a 12v instead of a 5v.. (jumper was set for 5volts) (did test it and working fine when i got it earlier in the year)


Nothing looks obviously scorched but no signs of life.. :'(


However it is still getting 5v through to connectors for strings when the jumpers are set to do so


Is it permanently dead or is there hope?

Quite possibly toast.

Bugger..


Best not tell the wife and quietly get a new one delivered to work

I did the same thing... The 5v side no longer works but it works if I jumper it to 12v. So I'm using it for my 12v strings now and a different one for my 5v

That's interesting. There are no 5V and 12V "sides". The electronics runs from 5V and the jumpers simply put a regulator in circuit (for the electronics, not the output) when set to 12V.

I can't think of a way that it would still on 12V but not 5V. Are you sure you are setting the correct single jumper on for 5V mode?
